NAME
       twoftpd-auth - TwoFTPD authentication front-end

SYNOPSIS
       twoftpd-auth cvmodule twoftpd-xfer

DESCRIPTION
       twoftpd-auth  reads  a  username and password from the network and authenticates them using the CVM module cvmodule.  If the authentication
       succeeds, it sets the environment variables UID, GID, HOME, and USER to the user's UID, GID, home directory, and login  name  respectively,
       and  then executes twoftpd-xfer.  It also sets GROUP if the CVM reports a group name, and AUTHENTICATED to 1 (twoftpd-auth and twoftpd-xfer
       look for this variable to determine what startup banner code to use).
